According to Berkley Cyber Risk Solutions, multifactor authentication (MFA) is “a best practice for security, but now it is effectively a prerequisite, minimal practice for digital security.” This helps protect online accounts by using the strongest authentication tools available, such as biometrics or a unique onetime code that is sent to your phone or mobile device.

The Illinois Technology Transfer Center/ LTAP is excited to partner with Ameren Illinois in offering Live-line Training to our LPAs. This in-person training course is from safety expert, Steve Hancock, an experienced utility lineman, and now an instructor. Steve presents how to stay safe around high-voltage overhead powerlines, and what to do and not do near them. This live demonstration of a 7,200-volt distribution system is timely. Well-suited for public works departments and first responders, this training provides good lessons on how to respond in an emergency when dealing with fallen power lines/wires, whether they’re on the road or if maintenance equipment accidentally encounters them overhead.
